To all whom it may 00mm.- f v Be it known that I, J N Cornea citizen of the United States, residin at Everson, in the countyof Fayette and ta te ofPenn sylvania, have invented new and useful 1m;

provements in Paper Hanging Devices, of

which the following is a Specification.

This invention relates to paper hanging devices, and more particularly to a device for supporting a str p of paper adjacent to a wall or ceiling of a room so as to p ermit' ready application of the same. 1 a

, One of the main objects ofthe inventionis to provide a device of simple construction and operation which, when not in use, may be readily folded so as to occupy a 'ninimum of space and produce a compact bundle for transportation. A furtherobject is to provide simple and eificient means for supporting and holdingthe paper, this means including supporting and holding members which are independently detachable." Another object is to provide an attachment which may be readilyapplied forsuspending a strip of paper by one. edge in vertical position so as to be applled to a Wall of a,

room. Further objects will appear from the detailed description. v

In the drawings: a a r V U Figure 1 @is a lan View or a deviceconstructed in accor ance with my invention;

Figure 2 is a side view :of thesamef Figure 3" is a detail perspective view-of the means for securing the upper, supporting arms;

Figure at is a detail of one of the paper holding clamps;

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the device used to hang a border;

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the device used to hang paper on a side wall.

The device is provided with a standard 1 composed of a plurality of sections 2, 3 and 4 which are slidably' connected by keepers 5 and can be secured in adjusted relation by cam levers 6 carried by straps 7 secured to the upper end portions of members2 and 4. A suitable supporting base 8 is secured upon the lowerend of member 2 to holdthe de-.

vice in operative position, and 'isfprovided with fourffeet 8 mounted on casters8 A sleeve 9 is slidable on member is adjustalile by means of a ca""*l which is' iiounted between-a pairgofe ars 11 projecting? from this member; *gThis tended so as to bring rollers 20 into position sleev eilo'is" provided'jat each sideiwith ;t':wo

tabs i12havingeyes 13 which are adapted toi'eceive the bight portions of the lower ends of downwardly converging brace arms or bails 14. The upper "ends of "arms L 14% arebent outwardly tolpi rovide pi'n '15 which fit through anyone, selectively'p'of a series of openings '16 in arms .16 the inner ends of which are pivotally secured by pin 17 between ears .18 extending front the, lateral faces of a collar 1 9j 'fitt i-ng about the upper endportion of member 4 an'd'securedthereon in any suitablefjor preferred f na1n'ie z. This provides simple and'efiicient mea'nsfr'or supporting rollers 20 which are mounted betweenthe outer ends of arms 16, these roller being positioned at opposite sides of the standard. At eachend of each roller 20 v is provided a springclamp 21 the jaws of ings, a strip of paper to which'paste has been applied is placed upon the rollers 20 as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the standard 1 being partially telescoped to bringthe rollers into I positlon to permit the paper to be easily placed thereon. The standard is then -exadj acenttheceili ng and the device is moved .on-caster s 87" into position to properly match the strip of paper' with, the adjacefntlside of the ceiling. or with a strip previously applied. The portion of the "strip between rollers20 is then brushed ontdthefcei-ling so'as to adhere thereto after which the end portions of the strip are brushed out. If

desired, after the strip of paper has been properly matched with a strip previously applied, upper section 4: of standardl may.

be raised slightly so as to cause rollers 20 to press the paper firmly against the ceiling, after which the device may be moved along the floor in one direction to cause the rollers to press the central portion and one end ofthe paper strip against the ceiling,

the device being then moved in the opposite direction to roll out the other end portion of the strip. In thi manner, thejlpaper'can be quickly and easily applied to the'EeiIing.

, Ordinarily, the end portions of the paper i strip which depend from the rollers will act to hold the paper between the rollers straight and without any sag. ;In u i a short strip, the. portion: bee-ween theirollfers can be" held" against sagginghy' securing the edge portions of the paper by means'of clamps; 21. which can be opened by cnrds 23 after the central portio'm of the stri has 'been applied. By changing the positions of pins of arms 14 in openings l d 6f arms 16, the rollers can be raised or lowered to accommodate strips of paper" ofdifieren't lengths.
